A deterministic approach for preparation of seismic hazard maps in North East India
Joshi, A.; Mohan, Kapil; Patel, R. - In: Natural Hazards 43 (2007) 1, pp. 129-146
A method of seismic zonation based on deterministic modeling of rupture plane is presented in this work. This method is based on the modeling of finite rupture plane along identified lineaments in the region using the semi-empirical technique, of Midorikawa [(1993) Tectonophysics 218:287–295]....

Soil responses near Delhi ridge and adjacent regions in Greater Delhi during incidence of a local earthquake
Mandal, H.; Khan, P.; Shukla, A. - In: Natural Hazards 70 (2014) 1, pp. 93-118
In this study, soil response was carried out for the Greater Delhi region. A folded Proterozoic formation was identified as Delhi ridge, passes through its central part along SSW–NNE direction, and appears to be a main geomorphic feature for the study area. The Delhi ridge is an exposed...

Arias Intensity Assessment of Liquefaction Test Sites on the East Side of San Francisco Bay Affected by the Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of 17 October 1989
Kayen, Robert; Mitchell, James - In: Natural Hazards 16 (1997) 2, pp. 243-265
Uncompacted artificial-fill deposits on the east side of San Francisco Bay suffered severe levels of soil liquefaction during the Loma Prieta earthquake of 17 October 1989. Damaged areas included maritime-port facilities, office buildings, and shoreline transportation arteries, ranging from 65...
